Thanksgiving Weekend

What a GREAT weekend!! It started out by not having to work Thursday and Friday! YAY!

I was invited to eat Thanksgiving with Barrett and Chantel and the kids at Little America. Mom and Dad decided to come up and eat with us. Barrett and Chantel flew in Wednesday. The Little America buffet was excellent. We had to get in line around 9:30. Mom and Dad picked me up at 9 and we got in line (we were right towards the front). Dad stood in line for tickets and me and mom were in the food line. At about 10:30 or so, the Labrums came! When the kids saw Grandpa, they were SO excited! Max made everyone laugh with his comment how he LOVES porkchops! Morgan said that on thanksgiving she HAS to have chocolate! After we ate, we had a nice visit then The Labrums headed back up to Brigham City. I think I ate too much, I needed a nap!

The next day, I got woke up by little tapping on my door. It was the Gale kids! We were having a family get together at Nancy's. It was the first time in 3 years the family has been together. We had some pictures taken at a little railroad museum in Lehi and then went back to Nancy's for some turkey sandwiches. Later on, we went up to Salt Lake and went swimming at Mom and Dads hotel. The kids all loved it! Tyler laughed and laughed at Morgan jumping in the pool. He loves when people splash. At the end of the night, we all said our goodbyes. It was so hard to say goodbye to the little Labrum kids. Morgan just hugged me. The few days we were together, she was by my side. I told her that we can talk on the phone. She is so sweet! Max started leaving before I got to say bye to him. I called him back and told him he forgot to say bye, he said "oh yeah, i forgot!" with his little lisp.

Thanks to Nancy for the pictures. Tyler had a breakdown so the pictures he is in, he is crying, but that is ok. Morgan LOVES pictures. She told me when we were heading to Nancy's that she loves pictures because she is so cute. I love the picture of me and the Gales and Kayden laying on my shoulder. I am so grateful to have such a loving family and to have been able to have them here this weekend. When you see those kids, how could you not love them!?!?! :)

And then, to top of the Holiday Weekend, BYU WON! How could it have been any better! :)

On the Mend

I went back to work a few days this past week. It was really hard! There was a lady at work that was sick a little longer then I was with pretty much the same thing I had. The dr's couldn't find anything wrong with her but her liver function was high. We talked and our symptoms were VERY similar. On Friday she got some test results back and she was postive for... MONO! AND, there have been a few other people out at work the past few days with the same thing we had.. We are all hoping there is not an epidemic of a mono breakout at my work.

On Thursday, I went and had a follow-up with my dr here in SLC and I do not have an ulcer!! YAY!! I have gastritis so I will be on the prilosec to control the acid reflux. I also had them test me for mono. I have not got the results back yet so I guess we will see what they say! I have had so many blood tests trying that they have had a hard time trying to find a vein. But I told the dr do not do a strept test on me because it will come back negative.

Today was Aunt Kaye and Uncle Duanes mission homecoming. I love being with the Labrum family. I love hearing stories about Grandma and Grandpa. Grandma and Grandpa Labrum have had many missionaries come from their family. I counted 20, and that was including Grandma and Grandpa. What great examples we have as a family! Not to mention all of the men that have/or in bishoprics. I was so little when Grandpa passed away so I don't have many memories of him. Having De and Scott tell stories about farming back in the day... Then of course, Kenny arguing saying "THIS IS HOW IT IS" then you have Uncle Duane saying "No, THIS IS HOW IT IS!" Just another Labrum trait, as Scott said! :) Having the family together is always so much fun! There is never a dull moment when the Labrum family is together!

I have pictures I finally downloaded from when the family went to Chuck-E-Cheese and when I went home and went fishing at Grassy Lake AND from when me and Tammy went to Tim McGraw. It is late so I will post them later.

I FINALLY downloaded the pics that I have said I would download! If I can say so myself, I have the cutest nieces and nephews!
